About our Boxing

So much more than a sport, we’re thrilled to show you how boxing can be used as a breathtakingly effective and ridiculously fun way to keep fit and get in shape, check out our quick read that goes into more depth of the health and fitness benefits.

The lure of boxing is the concentration and focus override the conscious feeling of doing exercise, your workouts fly by in a haze of punches! You’re always thinking to keep your upper and lower body in constant motion, as a result, you torch calories because you’re engaging so many muscles. Boxing won’t help you build muscle, but it will tone you, improve your power and promote weight loss if you consistently commit 2-3 days a week of 20 – 30-minute workouts. It’s a wonderful way to engage all the family in exercise, kids will love depleting all their energy into a punch bag.

Setting up at home can be really cost effective too, with a bag and a pair of boxing gloves you’re ready to go. A skipping rope is a really effective way to warm up, and a pair of hand wraps keep your wrists well protected, a smart move for little investment.

If (like some of us) your co-ordination could do with some improvement, speed bags offer another way to box. These smaller pear-shaped bags develop rhythm and are a nice addition once you’ve got your teeth into some regular training and want to spice things up.

We’re determined to help you lead an active lifestyle in a way that’s convenient and sustainable for you. If you feel you need more guidance we have plenty of in-depth buying guides, or we’d be thrilled to hear from you. Chat with us on-site, at hello@exercise.co.uk or on 0345 1666 200.
